Based on systematic and thorough assessments which used all three criteria (prevalence, severity and
potency), the Committee recommended that the following should be listed as priority allergens: Cereals
containing gluten (i.e., wheat and other Triticum species, rye and other Secale species, barley and other
Hordeum species and their hybridized strains), crustacea, eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, specific tree
nuts (almond, cashew, hazelnut, pecan, pistachio and walnut). Due to the lack of data on prevalence,
severity and/or potency, or due to regional consumption of some foods, the Committee recommended
that some of the allergens, such as buckwheat, celery, lupin, mustard, oats, soybean and tree nuts (Brazil
nut, macadamia, pine nuts), should not be listed as global priority allergens but may be considered for
inclusion on priority allergen lists in individual countries. Since current dietary trends include an increased
consumption of plant-based foods and diets consisting of alternative protein sources, it was
recommended that pulses, insects and other foods such as kiwi fruits be included in a “watch list” and
evaluated for the priority allergen list when data on prevalence, severity and potency become available.
Finally, the Expert Committee recommended that foods and ingredients derived from the list of foods
known to cause immune-mediated hypersensitivities should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis for
exclusion from declaration on ingredient lists and/or on food packaging.
